[Synopsis]

Shen Yanzhou was Hong Kong's infamous mad beauty, but he was stuck on one problem: born an Omega with scentless pheromones, he had to produce the “perfect heir” before turning thirty to inherit the position of head of the Shen family.

To that end, he used money, power, and every means at his disposal to forcefully buy the highest-quality Alpha at auction.

In the anonymous files, he was identified only as “X-9.” His pheromones were pure and icy, and their compatibility was a staggering 99.9%. The day X-9 was brought to the Shen family, his gaze was calm and he did whatever Shen Yanzhou asked, like a top-quality “stud” carefully raised for use.

Shen Yanzhou entered the room carrying only a knife, a contract, and a bottle of mint-scented suppressants. He sat on the edge of the bed and used a finger to lift the gland patch on the Alpha's neck, smiling lazily.

“Don't get the wrong idea. I don't love you.”

“I just need a child.”

He drew up a strict schedule for marking, precisely controlled how often he released his pheromones, and allowed them to mate only when the gland was at its most sensitive. He stayed with X-9 for three whole months, then kicked him out as soon as the doctor confirmed the pregnancy.

However, after X-9 left, Shen Yanzhou discovered that his body, now awakened, had begun emitting pheromones that drove Alphas wild. He was also repeatedly jolted awake at night by pheromone nightmares. The back of his neck grew faintly hot, and a scorching, tearing, intoxicating pain seeped out from deep within his bones, growing more intense the harder he tried to suppress it...

Six months later, at a gala for Hong Kong's elite, in the penthouse lounge.

Shen Yanzhou had his back to the door as he undid the complicated buttons of his sweat-soaked formalwear when the door suddenly opened.

A pair of burning hands wrapped around his slender waist from behind, slamming him against the cold floor-to-ceiling window. The rumored ruthless head of the Fu family, Fu Sizhou, who had just returned to Hong Kong, buried his face in Shen Yanzhou's neck, greedily inhaling the sweet pheromones he was emitting in his panic.

Outside the window, Victoria Harbour glittered with lights. Guests were arriving downstairs, and outside the room was Fu Sihan, the man Shen Yanzhou was about to get engaged to.

Fu Sizhou's rough fingertips stroked his sensitive, trembling gland. He laughed by Shen Yanzhou's ear, unhinged and obsessive. “Future sister-in-law, long time no see.”

“You kept me locked up for three months, then threw me away once you were done... How are we going to settle that score now?”

Fu Sizhou, the youngest son of the Fu family, concealed his identity and plotted for years just to get close to Shen Yanzhou. He had long been crazily obsessed with Shen Yanzhou's pheromones. He wanted to mark him, kiss his gland, and lock him in a cage of pheromones, claiming him day after day and making him pay night after night, until his chance finally came...

[Reading Guide] (Please read carefully.)

1. One-on-one, power couple, both sexually inexperienced, first kisses, first love, no unrequited love for someone else. The blurb isn't the whole story, and the reunion isn't at the beginning. No secondary couples.

2. He doesn't get pregnant during the three months. The specific reason is a spoiler. This is not a pregnancy-from-the-start story.

3. This isn't a pregnancy-and-child-rearing story. It's a melodrama. The birth won't be written in the main story, but it will appear in the extras!

4. Mainly focused on the romance, with sweetness, angst, longing, passion, and spice. It uses a Hong Kong setting and borrows some place names, but the story itself is entirely fictional.

5. Important: Please avoid this story if its sensitive content is a dealbreaker for you.

(The bottom is a universally adored heartthrob, and the story includes descriptions centered on him. That's part of my writing style, and I've already tagged it as “universally adored heartthrob.”)
